"Offers the most plausible way to renovate our political and
policy thinking to meet the challenges of the twenty-first
century."--Joe Klein, "Time"
America is at a crossroads. The global economic downturn that
began in 2008 has laid bare the structural weakness of our economy,
putting the country through its most severe test since the Great
Depression. Yet our political and business leaders have failed to
prepare us because they are in the grip of a set of "dead ideas"
about how a modern economy should work. Even the proponents of
"change" in the Obama administration remain tentative in pushing
the boundaries of the conventional wisdom.
But as Matt Miller shows in this provocative and influential
analysis, the American economy will turn the corner only if we move
beyond these outdated ways of thinking and recognize the ascendance
of a new set of "destined ideas" that will reinvigorate our
economy, our politics, and our day-to-day lives. And in a new
preface, Miller shows how today's financial crisis has finally
stripped these dead ideas of their power, offering hope for a
durable recovery.
